How did she get to collaborate with Brisom? “A common friend introduced me to Brian and nag-jamming kami,” says Lovi. “He told me he has written a song that’s perfect for me, ‘Bigkas’ nga. I listened to it and I liked it. After this, I intend to come up with a new album. I realized na-miss ko rin ang singing and I’m glad to be part of the big OPM concert at Philippine Arena, ‘MuSIKATin’, on February 20.”
Rocco has not yet given his birthday gift for her when we got to talk on the eve of her natal day. “Pero maganda siya magregalo. Last year, he installed a couch sa car ko na nagiging bed so I can rest during out of town tapings. Hindi ko pa alam what he’ll give me for this year.”
How about his Valentine gift for her last year? “Hindi pa kami on that time. Bale this coming Valentine will be our first together. But I’m leaving for Balesin Island on the morning of Valentine’s Day kasi I’ll be a bridesmaid sa kasal ng good friend kong si Heart Evangelista the next day, Sunday. Saturday, February 14, is also the birthday of Heart (who’s turning 30), and kami ng aming friends have prepared something for her.”
So what’s next for her at GMA-7 after she was a guest in “Magpakailanman” last Saturday? “My manager, Leo Domingues, said may offer na for a new soap after ‘Dalawang Mrs. Real’, but hindi ko pa alam kung ano. In the meantime, I’m doing the movie on Gregoria de Jesus, ‘Lakambini’, directed by Jeffrey Jeturian. I’m so excited with this project but kinakabahan din, kasi it’s something so new and different for me.”
